ESSENTIAL: OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE:  INDISPENSABLE, NECESSARY

 NONESSENTIAL:   NOT ESSENTIAL: DISPENSABLE

I have been thinking about these two words last night and this morning.

We can have many issues with our bodies: some essential parts and some we really appreciate but can live without.

Our Heart, lungs, and kidneys are essential to keeping us alive. If our heart is not working, we no longer have breath! We are not alive.

We can live if we lose a hand, arm, or leg. Many are living with impaired or no hearing or sight, and we can live with pain in our backs and other organs.

We can live with various parts of our body that are not fully functional.

No matter that we desire perfect health and body we can live with the non-essential to life parts of our body.

As we look at this in the Spiritual, we understand that our Heart being right with God by accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior, is ESSENTIAL to the life we were created to live!

To breathe in His presence and walk with a grateful attitude is Essential to showing others a better or best way to live.

Water and food are Essential to our bodies. We can live three weeks without food, but only three days without water.

In the Spiritual, we cannot live without the water of the Word and the food of communication in prayer, (speaking and listening)!

Without consistent Bible reading and prayer, we become stale and our life that should be showing others God’s Love, is not functioning.

Let us look at what the Bible says about what is Essential!

John 4:14 (KJV)

But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

John 7:38 (KJV)

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Ephesians 5:26 (KJV)

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

Colossians 3:16 (KJV)

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Colossians 3:17 (KJV)

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

John 4:34 (KJV)

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

To be what we are created to be and live the best life, it is Essential we are washed with the water (truth) of the Bible(word), and understand our food is to do the will of God for our lives!

Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

We have many various things in our life that we are grateful for but are not essential to living the life for which we were created. We must concentrate on the essentials to our growth in the Spirit and Power of the Lord Jesus.

The WORD, PRAYER, AND DOING HIS WILL FOR US!

Father, thank you for your word which is powerful as we consistently read and study it. Thank you for the refreshing water it gives us deep inside. I praise you that the water of the word, refreshing and filling us, helps us to live with eternal values, and helps our lives to show others the way to Jesus! In Jesus’ name! Amen!

Love, MeMaw!
